Evil Overlord rule 58 My doomsday device will not employ a large red digital countdown device unless it is absolutely necessary. If a countdown device proves to be necessary, the doomsday device will be set to activate when the counter reaches 00:10:00, rather than 00:00:00.

I see that I am changing a "mode" with the 915 binary. How do I know what mode to change or what mode is being used?
